Will Armstrong
Contract Administrator
Sydney
Summary
I am a reliable and results-orientated Building Contracts Administrator.
Reporting to Project Managers and Directors, my experience consists of understanding client briefs, preparing and pricing tenders, certifying progress claims, and assessing validity of variations.
I’ve had exposure working on the client side as a quantity surveyor and for a main contractor as a contracts administrator.
My degree in commerce combined with my work experience, and near complete construction degree, means that I have a balanced understanding of both the practical and commercial aspects of a project’s lifecycle.
